  • Get Rendition...ed?!

    I swear this is the last time I'll spam my own blog about the album! Rendition been out for a couple weeks now and reaction amongst underground press and music forums has been overwhelming ... much, much better than expected.

    iTunes link here

    Album review on In The Mix here
    South China Morning Post support here

    Just wanted to fire up a few photos:



    Big box. Little box. Carboard fish. Design based on military ration packs (M.R.E.'s) using similar card stock. Details Daniel. If only the damn printer had followed my template exactly then I wouldn't have to tape them shut before mailing them out. Hey-ho, next time.



    Shann Larsson's cover artwork image in all its matt-laminated digipak glory.



    Shann's artwork again, plus some strange looking device not compatible with your iPod. Apparently it has music on it? Didn't bother to check.



    Join the ranks. These things came back looking dope. Already been sent photos showing them stitched onto peoples record bags / jeans / caps.



    Shemagh. Keffiyeh. Tactical dust / sun scarf. Probably not a good idea to wear this thing through US Immigration. Which was kind of my point. Clothing does not maketh the man ... a threat. Do not ever trade freedom for security. That's the album in a nutshell. Neatly summed up by a piece of cloth.



    And stickers. Why is it so hard to get good quality vinyl stickers made in Hong Kong? The plastic capital of the universe and I can't get heavyweight clear sticky vinyl. These came pretty close  to what I wanted. Meh. Next time. Anyway: Gifts go out to for people mailing me back photos of where they've put these things. Google Map them if you have time. Gifts in the form of more stickers! A never ending cycle.



    And if you buy the digital only version ( MP3 / FLAC / AIF) of the album then, well, apart from missing out on all the fun, your files will ... look ... like the image above.

    All that sound like fun?! Actually, there's 15 bits of music which go along with all the stuff listed above but spend 5 minutes on Google and you can get that part for free. Exclusive & direct via mail order from our digital shop:

    If you don't like buying online and live in Hong Kong, all sets are also available from the 2/F of Delay No Mall in Causeway Bay plus over the bar at Yumla.

    > substandard instant foods

    And you rejected Subway moving into the neighbourhood? Picky! :)

    Cool. We got a bunch after the hurricane in New Orleans. Thankfully I didn't stay there long enough during all of that to warrant eating them out of necessity but I still ate them and they weren't half bad. But this is from a guy that survives on substandard instant foods for the most part anyway. LOL

    Thankfully never had MRE's! But seen them often enough, when I was a kid (this is over 18 years ago) we used to live near Bovington tank proving grounds in the South of England and some family friends worked there. I still have a jar of Saudi / Iraqi desert sand which was given to me ... cleaned out of a Challenger tank engine air filter!

    Great packaging. Damn, it's been a while since I've had a MRE. lol Anyway, packaging is an art form. I've got CDs that have survived numerous thinning sessions only because the packaging was ingenious.

    DVD was purely timing and cost. I only had 2 video completed by the time I needed to submit the masters for replication, and I felt paying the extra cost simply to include those 2 video wasn't justified.

    The thought went across my mind a lot! Maybe in 10 years I'll do a "Best Of" compilation with loads of video on it :)

    Got my box in the mail last Saturday and have been loving it.
    Still can't tie this damn thing correctly though...
    i must admit, after reading of your newfound excitement over producing video content i'm surprised this release didn't include a DVD with music videos.
    Maybe next time?

    Ha! Leave terrorists out of this :)

    Terrorist are a just a reaction to a situation getting out of control. People who have lost any hope of resolving their situation any other way. The message with the album is to keep an eye on your situation before it's gets too far out of your control.

    it was a total crock... there are some funny pictures of Laura Bush wearing one that surfaced right afterwards too...  she, like Dunkin Donuts are sending secret subliminal terrorist support messages!

    Boon - thanks bro!

    Etchy: Just Googled what you were talking about. Corporate success relies on a lot publicity. Running then dropping the ad must have been intentional, there's no other explanation. Whether the actor was making a statement or not is [rightly] up to her, but from a corporate point of view you can never take sides - not when everyone is a potential customer! That whole scenario is a bit different to the issue of racial profiling, which I disagree strongly against.

    Stephen: Too much thought! Being honest, even though CDs are a dead format, half the enjoyment of doing music is all the extra work that goes into the packaging and videos etc. Zipping a JPG up with some MP3s doesn't even come close :)

    Etchy: Not heard about that story! But it doesn't surprise me, sadly.

    Listening to the album on the official web site now. It's a pleasure to see something that is so cohesive in design both artwork and product-wise.... from Shann's artwork, to the package design, to the interior swag, and of course the tracks, it looks like alot of thought and care has been put into the overall design.
